Image:Information.svg Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in :Shooting of Bijan Ghaisar, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Philipnelson99 (talk) 21:17, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [{{fullurl:Wikipedia:Sandbox|action=edit}} do so].
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

The Virginia Lawyer weekly ref is behind a paywall which requires :Template:Subscription required to be added to the reference plus editors can't just add a bare URL as a ref. Following you'll find a referencing aid, hope it helps. Shearonink (talk) 20:26, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

File:Wikipedia- Using Cite option from toolbar.jpg Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.

Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:

1. While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
2. Then click on "Templates".
3. Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
4. Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
5. Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
6. Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.

::*Before clicking on Publish changes, check that a References header {{space|2}}==References=={{space|2}} is near the end of the article.

::*And check that {{space|2}}{{Reflist}} {{space|2}} is directly underneath that header.

:7.{{space|2}}Click on Publish changes. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.

You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video :File:RefTools.ogv.

Hope this helps, --Shearonink (talk) 20:26, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Mrdobolino,

I found you have added this piece about “a 1971 French comedy directed by Claude Faraldo and starring Marie Dubois” to the BoF disambiguation page in February (Special:Diff/885220537), and then User:Cyfal replaced a link with a more appropriate one (Special:Diff/885685771). However, the article did not appear yet.

Are you going to create it? If you aren't, the link should be probably removed from the page. According to DAB guidelines at Wikipedia:Disambiguation, disambiguating pages serve as a help in navigation to Wikipedia articles describing appropriate meaning, not for listing all possible meanings of a key term.

If you think the article should exist, but you can not create it yourself, you may request its creation at Wikipedia:Requested articles. When the article is created, it should be linked to BoF.
